Hi, I'm Marcus.

I am a Senior Computer Scientist at the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, CO.
One of my main priorities is developing the Science Operations Center data reduction pipeline for PUNCH, an upcoming NASA mission to study the solar environment. Watch our code get released!
I am extending what I've learned with PUNCH to create the data reduction pipeline for the CubIXSS mission.
In my spare time, I made Barnsley, a Rust app to explore iterated function systems, with a web-based GUI. It was a great introduction to Rust.
If you want to read updates about my work, check my posts at jmbhughes.com.
